Sherrie Blackwood, a 7th and 8th grade Civics teacher at Citrus Ridge: A Civics Academy, shares with Teacher Engagement Coordinator Mallory Williamson how she used a house system to ignite parents and build community at her school. Note: The house system that has been incorporated at Citrus Ridge was inspired by the original work done at The Ron Clark Academy. Several Citrus Ridge teachers and administrators had the opportunity to visit the school and see the system for themselves.
